US-based TWG Global announced the $2.5 billion acquisition of a 5% stake in Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Capital with Mubadala Capital in return set to invest $10 billion into TWG Global. The two-way deal gives Mubadala Capital exposure to TWG Global’s vast portfolio, which includes prominent sports franchises such as the LA Dodgers, LA Lakers, Chelsea FC and Cadillac F1, and represents the second time an outside investor has been permitted to acquire a stake in the $430 billion asset manager. TWG Global announced plans to invest another $20 billion into Mubadala Capital over time.
Why This Matters
Bilateral investment is flowing both directions as UAE and US companies continue to deepen relationships across high-growth sectors. Mubadala Capital’s investment commitment to TWG Global and TWG Global’s stake in Mubadala Capital will drive innovation and job creation across technology, energy and entertainment. The partnership also supports the integration of AI and digital transformation, positioning both firms to benefit from new global tech opportunities.
“This collaboration unites the right expertise and capital to invest in ideas with the potential to shape the future.” – Thomas Tull, Co-Chair of TWG Global
